He was suggesting that they’ll beat the Giants tomorrow, whereby making their record 12 – 2. Duhhh. Smarten up some! It’s not that hard.

Punt return team is also top notch but for some reason we are really average at KR and kickoff coverage this year.

Glad that Jon Ryan is getting some love because he was a stud last year as well.

Sat, 14 Dec 2013 22:23:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2231071#comment-3010469He can still boom it when needed, Ryan’s longest for the year is 69 yards.

It’s not just the punting game, either. A different football-related website stated a few weeks ago that there are 31 special teams in the league, and then there are the Seahawks.

Rusty Tillman’s special teams were given a lot of credit for helping the Seahawks reach the AFC Championship game back in the ’83 season. They were awesome for years.

Of course there were no return yards last week against the Niners. The punts were so short that they couldn’t do anything but fair catch. Net win for Niners.

Ryan was definitely not impressive last week, definitely his worst punting game of the season. He’s been MONEY all year long though, perfectly matching distance with kicking to coverage. Last week was a very poor depiction of how good the Seahawks punt team has been.

Sat, 14 Dec 2013 18:59:33 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2231071#comment-3010331Well ST is one of the areas that most teams seem to consistently struggle with. It represents an element of the game that you can pickup a nice advantage in if you can stay technically sound while every other team bangs their head against the wall and keeps shooting themselves in the foot.

Most teams just don’t put enough emphasis into making a science out of ST play, and they just kind of wing it and in sloppy fashion. It’s a very complex assortment of things that fall into the ST department, and you can’t possibly enjoy a lot of benefit there unless you are really going out of your way to plan and engineer an advantage. It’s seemingly just way too difficult and beyond some teams to get a handle on. And then they have to make up for that some other way. It’s not a healthy way to compete at football if you can’t get your ST department up to code.

I’m happy for the Seahawks to be within reach of the record, that’s pretty neat!
